All I know is: builders love builders. Awesome to meet and get to spend some time with @Djuri down here in El Salvador!

🔥 @npub17tyk...3mgl en español GETTING CLOSER!!! 🔥 It seems so simple, but it took me all day to add the logic to make our titles able to scroll. Certain phrases in other languages just aren't going to fit on our tiny screen so this was always a must-have part of this multilanguage effort. But all of our UI components are custom built -- can't just whip out some css or JS -- so any new behavior takes some work to add in. Tomorrow: Do the same thing for button text (looking at you, "Herramientas"!).

Which browser tab is eating up 5 GB of RAM?!!! @primal. Basically every other day or so I kill the tab to free up the memory. Can y'all limit your caching? I know nothing about browser-side caching, memory management, etc. But this is pretty ridiculous.

Hoping to clarify what seems to be a misunderstanding by @ODELL about how the Pi Zero hardware shapes the @npub17tyk...3mgl security model. (see: @RABBIT HOLE RECAP #320) I'm not about drama, certainly not looking to increase it. Please give this a read and hit me back w/any questions:

TIL that my oven mitts are NO F'N MATCH for cast iron @ 435° F. Youch. 🔥✋😢

What do the anti-seed oil folks think about algae cooking oil? I've been using avocado oil + cast iron for years. Started reading up on oxidation in olive oil (tldr: basically hopeless if you buy it at a grocery store) and apparently avocado oil can / does(?) have similar issues. This stuff claims to have more oxidative stability (when heated; dunno at rest) and the aluminum bottle is better than the typical plastic or glass. see: https://algaecookingclub.com/about #seedoil #food #foodstr #cooking

Always a good day when I have an excuse to use my planer! From rough, splintery 1x3 stock... ...to finished-enough boards ready for building! #woodworking #diy

Finally watched "Idiocracy". No, that's not a snarky reference to the debate. Just figured the movie would be the better option.

First attempt at making a #keto #bread! Flax, almond flour, eggs, bit of greek yogurt, olive oil. Trying to refine my approach to keto: reduce my saturated fat intake and lower my cholesterol levels (yes, I read Lopp's article and yes I got the advanced lipid panel test). Incorporating flax seeds seems like an easy win. Tastes mostly neutral, but finishes as salty olive oil. Not bad, but not great. I've been putting slices in the toaster to crisp up the mushier inside. That def improves the experience. Spreading some butter on was a bad call; accentuated the saltiness in a bad way. Tried it with some pesto; if you have a pesto you really like, it could work great. My pesto was so-so, so meh. Biggest success: dip it into a tikka masala sauce! For the next batch I'll try to make it a more savory herb (rosemary, oregano, black pepper) bread, less salt, less oil, and swap some oil for butter. #foodstr #lowcarb Recipe: https://nest-wellness.com/recipes/flax-bread-keto-paleo-and-low-carb/

Two significant-ish "akshually"s but also a DEFENSE of @OpenSats in regards to @npub17tyk...3mgl. On @RABBIT HOLE RECAP #320, @ODELL said: "There's multiple conspiracies with OpenSats and two of the key ones is Knots and SeedSigner. And neither have submitted applications. If you're a developer or a contributor working on either of those things, opensats.org/apply" Akshually: 1.) SeedSigner DID submit an OpenSats application for the project as a whole. The application languished for months (perhaps 6mo to a year?) and was ultimately declined with the explanation that it was easier/preferable to support individual devs than whole projects. 2.) Based on that feedback, I submitted an OpenSats application to fund just me specifically. That was also declined. BUT the rationale was because @npub17xvf...c9as had just announced a 6mo grant for me. I was encouraged to reapply to OpenSats before that HRF funding expired. The delays around 1.) were totally understandable. OpenSats is a VOLUNTEER effort and had even fewer human resources at that time. But also: they don't owe us a f'n thing!! They're under no obligation to say "Yes" nor should we ever have the arrogance to think we deserve to demand a "Yes"! BUT the delays to get to ANY answer were VERY frustrating and likely added to some of the bad blood in the water amongst those watching the project closely. Eventually each "later, soon..." response was received with increasing cynicism and creeping conspiracy theories. The "No" was totally reasonable. Getting to "No" faster would have been better. The "No" on 2.) was also totally reasonable. No complaints from me whatsoever. I also strongly believe that THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A "YES" had the HRF funding not come through. I consider O'Dell a friend and an ally. When I saw him in Nashville I gave him a hug and said, "I appreciate you." I'm not about drama. Not here to start any shouting matches. Just trying to paint a clear picture about what was good and what was bad throughout our interactions with OpenSats thus far. And full disclosure: I'm prepping a new grant application for myself for OpenSats. So, sure, I have personal reasons for not wanting to burn this bridge. But the reality is that there was just nothing outrageous or awful or controversial about our interactions. Circumstance and timing weren't right for attempts 1.) and 2.). Crossing my fingers for upcoming 3.). Conspiracy theories are dumb.

Hey nostr, hit me with some fun / interesting / unique people to follow who don't just post about bitcoin and macro* all the time. I want my nostr experience to be broader, cover more varied and unexpected interests. For example, I love #dogs, science, engineer nerd shit, positive vibes, not insane health and wellness ideas**, films, photography, improving my pistol skills, gymnastics / acrobatics, DIY!!!!, woodworking. ...and everything else. --- *(I'm already a bitcoin maxi; I follow plenty of y'all already!) **(nah, not gonna touch grass; triggers skin allergies)

@npub1kuma...z2v7 is going in for surgery tomorrow to remove a mammary tumor. Should be a straightforward procedure. 🤞 Regardless, hugging this girl extra close until then.

ATTENTION @MartyBent there's a NEW @npub17tyk...3mgl RELEASE!! Please read our release notes on the next RHR!!! @RABBIT HOLE RECAP @ODELL

GitHub

Release The "Low Time Preference" Release · SeedSigner/seedsigner

SeedSigner v0.8.0 It's admittedly been a minute since our last release -- we've always built carefully and deliberately, and we continue to refine ...

Yo, it is INCREDIBLE to play with bigger screen possibilities for @npub17tyk...3mgl!! 🔥🔥👀 For now this 320x240 ili9341 is the sweet spot. Bigger, much easier to read, smooth framerate, and I've already adapted the code to handle the 3:2 aspect ratio. The tiny Waveshare display hat has served us well, but a new wave of better, cooler build possibilities will be on the horizon!

Take a break from all the fiat destruction news and note: BREAKING: @npub1kuma...z2v7 can SWIM*!! I had NO IDEA what she'd do, but she crushed it! 🐶❤️ --- *(ya, it IS instinctual but apparently it's not guaranteed that all dogs can swim)

INTENSE @mads advocacy here or mebbe just a Primal bug?

I don't know what the abbreviated/fun spelling for "vacation" should be ("vacay"? "vaycay"?), but it isn't "cow".

Disciplined keto at home, fuck all enjoy yourself for a week in Nashville.

CARBS ARE HAPPENING THIS WEEK!

I'll be in Nashville TONIGHT! I have no plans tonight yet. DM me if you know of a thing or want to try to meet up. Tues no plans until the evening. Wed MPB Unconference, evening = ? Thurs shitshow lite, then @ODELL's shindig. Fri full shitshow, evening = ? Sat shitshow but too tired to care anymore, evening = ?
